Photo Flash: Short film Troublesome Screens At The Renberg Theatre

The Hilldog Productions film starring stage and screen veteran Gordon Thomson as Dr. Ross and Kareem Grimes as Rap super star Kritikal were very well received by audience members which included Alison Arngrim (Little House on the Prairie), Channing Chase (Mad Men), Romi Dames (Hanna Montana), and Kate Linder (The Young & the Restless) among others.

The storyline takes its characters and patrons on a rather fast paced emotional ride considering it takes place on board a stranded subway car with no promise of rescue. "There's a reason I chose a subway as our one and only location," says Guess. "It's contained, confining and worst of all ... Dark!" With Oxygen fading and tensions rising, confrontations lead to confessions and ultimately discovery in this well written and performed tribute to what can be accomplished with a low budget, when you have both talent and dedication to produce excellence. The cast is complimented by the work of director of photography, John Savedra and a remarkable musical score that included "My Life's Kritikal," produced by Mike Greene with Lyrics by Dert Julian and performed by Kareem Grimes. "Troublesome" should be submitted for consideration as a Best Short Film Live Action for the 2011 Academy Awards.
